Tree Down on East-West Highway

Bell said there likely will be a few strong to severe thunderstorms reaching our area Tuesday afternoon. The primary threats will be damaging winds, frequent lightning and heavy rain. Rainfall rates of more than 1 inch per hour are possible.

The storms could continue overnight, as well. The best chance for heavier precipitation will be overnight.

But standard summer weather returns Wednesday as highs reach the 90s. There will be a much lower chance of rain the rest of the week, Bell said.
